In this age of moral crisis succumbs, the war time standards, they become public behavior standards, distributed and taught by the Sophists. The teaching of these behavior patterns will be based on power and force, threatening all ethical doctrine and causing an anarchic state in society. Platofought against those who are moved by the pursuit of power and wealth blaming the disorder and injustice.
Plato is convinced that rationality is the most important power and reason of man orders the cosmos, so that human life should aspire to the realization of reason and not the result of pleasure, and only those who believe in that supremacy of rational order could end the abuses andinjustices by creating harmony and social welfare.
This is an extensive work in ten books, described by many as a political treaty, something not quite right, and also to declare and explain the origins and consequences of various forms of state, also aims to investigate the man who creates them.
So that each book covers different subjects, albeit with the sole purpose of designing theperfect government and show the depths of man's being.

Book V
It becomes a reference to education as a starting point the idealstate, but now focus on children and women (the latter, if they can show capabilities for it).
